Important Information
These illustrations are for general reference only.
Some body parts are constructed from multiple
layers of different tensile strength steels. Always
refer to the body repair manual’s body construction
section for specific steel tensile strength information.

Repairability Issues:
• Do not repair bumper beams if damaged.
• Minor damage to the aluminum hood may be repaired
by body shops that have dedicated aluminum repair
facilities and tools.
• To prevent galvanic corrosion, some fasteners for
aluminum parts are considered one-time use and Hood
must be replaced if removed.
NOTE: The following content is intended only to highlight new/special concerns. No body repairs should be
attempted without first referencing the appropriate body repair manual for complete information.

Important Information
Parts made of Ultra-High-Strength Steel
(UHSS/1,500MPa/USIBOR) must be installed as a
complete part. No sectioning allowed. Ultra High-
Strength Steel requires special welding equipment,
procedures, and settings. See the welding section of
the appropriate body repair manual. Failure to use the
proper equipment or follow the proper procedures can
result in an unsafe repair.
Wire tensile strength must be:≥590 Mpa (≥86 ksi) Wire tensile strength must be:≥590 Mpa (≥86 ksi)
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Collision Mitigating Braking System (CMBS):
The millimeter wave radar for the ACC/CMBS must be re-aimed if:
• The radar unit is removed or replaced.
• The radar unit’s mounting area was damaged.
• If the aiming process is not completed, or the electronic
service manual procedure is not followed, the ACC indicator
changes to amber and a warning message may also appear.
